The TSA decides to hold back for inspection 4% of all pieces of carry-on luggage. Assuming selections are independent, for the next 150 pieces of luggage, a) find the exact probability that 7, 8, or 9 will be selected. Interestingly enough, this is a case where two of our approximation methods may be appropriate. b) Using Poisson approximation, recalculate the probability from a), and compare. c) Using normal approximation, recalculate the probability from a), and compare

a) 0.3140

b) 0.3098

c) 0.3447

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

p = 4% = 0.04

Assuming selections are independent for next 150 pieces

n = 150

a) Probability that 7,8,9 will be selected

P( 7,8,9 ) = 0.3140

b) probability that 7,8,9 will be selected using Poison approximation

P( 7,8,9 ) = 0.3098

c) using normal approximation to determine the probability from ( a )

P ( 7,8,9 ) = 0.3447

Attached below is the detailed solution

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
